Debut EP by this Brooklyn four piece called Ed Gein's Car (named in tribute to the notorious serial killer) and the line-up consisted of Scot (vocals), Tim (guitars), Eric (bass), Fred (drums). The band was active 1982-1987 and in that time they made three albums (two of them live at CBGB) and three singles. A review: "Excellent, powerful ’77-style punk in a Misfits/Undead vein. The title track is instantly memorable for its sickoid lyrics and preeminently catchy instrumentals, but the other two songs here keep up the standard just as well. My opinion: get this EP as soon as humanly possible." (Steve Spinali, MRR #19 • November 1984) - They quickly became a popular attraction on the downtown club scene, and were firm favorites at CBGB, where they recorded the 1987 live effort "You Light Up My Liver". However, the group took success with the same lack of seriousness as they approached every other facet of their career, and disbanded at the peak of their popularity in 1987; Weis later joined Iron Prostate before turning to painting.
